There are also highly toxic, can also build up in the body, and lead to kidney damage. But the highest danger isn't to your poisoning victims - it is to you. You will touch the mercury and breath in hte mercury vapors repeatedly. Your " patients " might be able to handle a few mercury doses without showing symptoms, but you in preparing these " medications " will get repeated exposure.
